+1 for this, the dependency hell for 32 bit applications is really a major
pain in the new versions of Ubuntu. I have dealt with that multiple times
and I wasn't able to resolve all the problems (e.g. Google Earth still
doesn't work on Ubuntu for me)
Isn't that simply because deb packages do not express library
dependencies in as detailed way as rpm packages do?
I'm sure Richard was not suggesting to get rid of that rpm feature.
TBH I'm not perfectly sure what causes the problem but since the new
"multilib" in Ubuntu started I am dealing with a whole bunch of issues like
the one I described. So to sum up, I personally think we are doing much better
with the way how things work in Fedora.
In some ways we are, in other aspects we are not. Drawing conclusions
from your experience with Google Earth without real understanding is a
mistake.
